Hein serves as a loyal
butler to Geese Howard. He was invited
to the King of Fighters XIV tournament by Billy
Kane. Although modest, mild-mannered, and never seeming to break his
polite tone, he does have a sadistic side. He fights in an elegant fighting
style known as "Gambits" with moves named after chess terminology.

One of Geese
Howard's lackeys is ready to do some fighting? I guess the premise of his character design a cool idea, since Geese
was always surrounded by random henchmen in suits. However, Hein strikes
me as particularly booooring. In fact, he's the most boring and generic SNK character design I've seen in over a decade.
Just look at him. I've seen far more interesting background characters
in fighting games. Maybe it's the hair? Confirmed: The hair doesn't help. Maybe it's the generic
tuxedo? I'm not hatin' on the dude's style, but I've seen other fighting game characters pull off this look better.
In closing, Hein's moveset isn't exceptionally exciting either. Something definitely
seems "missing" about his moveset and appearance. Either way... I wouldn't buy an action figure of Hein. That's the point. He's forgettable and doesn't stand out or do much for KOF XIV.
